Hi everyone,
I’m posting on here because I’m at my wits' end and just don’t know what to do anymore...
My dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was attacked by another dog while we were out for a walk. It all happened so quickly – there were probably less than twenty minutes between the attack and her passing away at the vet's.
The other owner gave me a fake phone number, so of course, I don't have his details. That said, I’ve spoken to several other dog owners in my neighbourhood who say this dog is a known problem; it has apparently attacked several dogs already and the owner couldn't care less.
My husband and I tried to report it to the police, but the officer wouldn't take a statement. I’m absolutely devastated by every part of this: the fact the dog is clearly aggressive, the fact that THANKFULLY I wasn’t out with my two-year-old son that day as he could have been in my dog's place, the loss of her... I feel like I have no recourse at all.
Does anyone know what I can do to track this owner down? Is there a way to force them to muzzle their dog? I’m not even looking to get the vet bills back or anything – nothing will bring my dog back – I just want our dogs and children to be safe...
